Two pieces that in some ways seem to contradict each other and themselves - even down to one being quite serious and the other with more humor.

🔗 Fergie Chambers Is Heir to One of America’s Richest Families and Determined to See the U.S. Fall. (Readwise with Highlights)

… 🔗 The original Rolling Stone Link)

and

🔗 America is too Lazy for a Second Civil War (Readwise with Highlights)

… 🔗 The original Sam Colt Link

That said, you can read both and wonder where you fit on the spectrum, because to me it is not altogether clear.

🔗 Sydney to Melbourne. Really?

If anyone feels inspired to pop over to 🔗 this page on LinkedIN that I just made public, it is the very early beginnings of our new initiative ‘The Future Found’. More will be forthcoming.

🔗 A Failed Rock Adaption of Dune Might Have Starred Mick Jagger, Orson Welles & Salvador Dalí (with Music by Pink Floyd)

.. personally, I see this as one of the world’s great successes - how near were we I wonder?

🔗 108 companies, graded from most to least racist.

It’s a start, but I wouldn’t take it as absolute - to me the more interesting info is in the footnote ..

NOTE: The companies listed in black are federal contractors. The companies in gray aren’t.

The sheer number of contractors ‘in black’ could surely be reduced by a little more vigilance in the government to at least reduce that number - maybe others will then follow?

🔗Gioia’s rule of the spheres.

At the beginning of the year I had grand plans for this series. A daily long-form post about something that was rattling my brain that day. And then life. For a while, I was even just dropping markers - to revisit. I came to realise that part of the problem was the complexity of the structure for each post - so that went away. Simplicity really is rather nice. As I write on 240413, I am now going back and filling in the gaps. PLUS - unless something strikes me immediately, I will not classify until the end of the day and go back to move one of the posts of the day into the 366. Also - if you are wondering how I have update the words at the bottom of over 100 posts at a stroke, well - THANK YOU Andy Sylvester and his Glossary plugin.

🔗 Biden may have trouble getting on Ohio’s general election ballot, state’s top election official warns.

.. there are some things in life that I clearly do not understand … such as the need for Democrats to self destruct.

🔗 Porn showing the way again?

We know that the Porn Industry leads the way in adopting new technology to redefine itself.

Not once or twice - but continually. Only Fans might be the latest example.

In this piece Bob Lefsetz suggests that musicians of the world take a leaf out of their book.

🔗 Google to delete search data of millions who used ‘incognito’ mode.

‘Incognito’ is not ‘incognito’ and barely a flutter in the ether.

🔗 Johnson Warns Jeffries Could Become Speaker

‘Warns’ …

… the article suggests Hakim is the House Minority Leader- I would suggest that if indeed he ‘assumes the mantle’, that he would then be the House Majority Leader … it’s just that the definition of which ‘majority’ ii is - like different to the usual donkeys and elephants.
